Tour Overview
Uncover the ancient and modern marvels of southern Egypt on this half-day guided tour of Aswan. From legendary temples to monumental engineering, Royal takes you on a journey through time in one of Egypt’s most captivating cities.
Begin with a visit to the High Dam, a 20th-century megastructure that changed Egypt’s relationship with the Nile forever. Learn how this massive feat of engineering controls flooding, provides electricity, and created Lake Nasser, one of the world’s largest man-made lakes.
Next, step into the world of ancient craftsmanship at the Unfinished Obelisk, a gigantic stone column still embedded in bedrock. Believed to belong to Queen Hatshepsut, this site gives rare insight into how ancient Egyptians carved their monuments directly from granite.
Your final stop is the Temple of Philae, a stunning island sanctuary dedicated to Isis, the goddess of magic and motherhood. With intricate reliefs and graceful columns, this temple, relocated stone by stone by UNESCO, offers one of the most enchanting settings in Upper Egypt.
After your immersive cultural journey, return to your hotel in comfort.
